i like the wheels. But a Z28 is about performance. Those wheels (although very nice) arent beneficial from a performance point of view. The fact that he has 1/2 of the GFX kit is confusing to say the least. A better z28 clone might have been to leave the full gfx body kit, leave out ALL the "z28" decals and instead just leave the one "z28" emblem on the front grill and another "z28" emblem on the rear decklid where the bowtie originally is. Then get the "Z28" logos embroidered on the head rests, lower the car about 1.5" and instead of all that money spent on decals and hood chrome, sounds, wheels, the person should've bought/installed a cat back exhaust, CAI, hotchkis rear chassis brace, carbon fiber hood, trunk lid, fenders, doors, and get that car to perform/run better than any stock engine SS while still have the facory warranty on that L99. The weight reduction alone on these cars is significant enough alone and would no doubt have effectively improve overall performance in acceleration, braking, handling all without touching the powertrain or taking off the tires at all. Just taking the factory 20's and running it on 17's (for example) is day and night difference. Just my 2 cents. At least thats what i wouldve done with $6k or so this person spent on this car.
